Quote:

WASHINGTON - Tim Russert, NBC News’ Washington bureau chief and the moderator of “Meet the Press,” died Friday after a sudden heart attack at the bureau, NBC News said Friday. He was 58.

SNIP

Russert, the recipient of 48 honorary doctorates, took over the helm of “Meet the Press” in December 1991. Now in its 60th year, “Meet the Press” is the longest-running program in the history of television.

In 2008, Time Magazine named him one of the 100 most influential people in the world.

I'm stupified and so frelling sad. He was such the GREAT. Too young to die. Too young to leave me all alone on Sunday mornings! Oh TIM!!!!


I've been watching journalists all my life and I've never seen anyone else so able to go for the jugular so consistently with pure civility. He is, in essence, irreplaceable. And political news just took a giant step backwards to the dark age of toadying and meaninglessness.


FRELL, FRELL, FRELL.

Jeez, what iSm said

RIP Tim.

I loved watching him on Meet The Press and will miss him more than I can say during these next months covering the election.

Too, too young to go.

How very sad and he was so young too. Sunday morning won't be the same. We usually watch him after the cbs Sunday morning show.

He will be sorely mised during this election year.

I found him to be a bit of a blowhard and too aware of his reputation, but certainly skilled. What I really liked from him were the hour-long Charlie Rose type interviews he did on MSNBC.

Wow! So sudden. Peace to his family.:(

I got a very sad email from work about Tim's passing. We've lost a great one.

Oh, what a rip. Way too young. This really saddens me. My ex abhorred Tim Russert, but then, he hates anyone whose politics are even slightly left of Michael Savage.
